Today, it was a true pleasure to participate in the self-defense class with Victoria in such a beautiful setting. I greatly appreciated the warm reception as well as the valuable techniques that she taught us. Thanks Victoria and your team, also thanks stronger together! 🤗

I started my kids in Jiu Jitsu in February and they instantly loved it. Coach muhammad and Professor mango are awesome at teaching and you can tell they love what they do. I saw such an amazing transformation with my kids’ focus in school after just one week of classes and I soon thereafter joined the gym as well. I have had nothing but great experience and love Jiu Jitsu, losing weight was just icing on the cake. Would give more stars but 5 is the max. It’s a must join! Thanks Gracie Barra Katy

After several months attending classes, my children contracted contagious plantar warts. Although the warts healed within two weeks, we kept them home for another week to avoid infecting their classmates. The school initially allowed us to temporarily pause their classes, but when the warts recurred, they refused to permit another pause, requiring us to continue paying tuition despite their absence. Due to the school's inflexibility, we ultimately withdrew our children. If you're considering enrollment, I recommend paying month-to-month rather than committing to the full year for a small discount, as this will save you significant hassle in the long run.
